Cosgriffius, the Glossary

Cosgriffius is an extinct genus of trematosaurian temnospondyl within the family Trematosauridae.^[1]

Family (biology)

Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

Species

A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.

Temnospondyli

Temnospondyli (from Greek τέμνειν, temnein 'to cut' and σπόνδυλος, spondylos 'vertebra') or temnospondyls is a diverse ancient order of small to giant tetrapods—often considered primitive amphibians—that flourished worldwide during the Carboniferous, Permian and Triassic periods, with fossils being found on every continent.

Trematosauria

Trematosauria is one of two major groups of temnospondyl amphibians that survived the Permian-Triassic extinction event, the other (according to Yates and Warren 2000) being the Capitosauria. Cosgriffius and Trematosauria are temnospondyli stubs.

Trematosauridae

Trematosauridae is a family of large marine temnospondyls with several included genera. Cosgriffius and Trematosauridae are temnospondyli stubs.

See Cosgriffius and Trematosauridae

Type species

In zoological nomenclature, a type species (species typica) is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen (or specimens).

See Cosgriffius and Type species

Wellesaurus

Wellesaurus is an extinct genus of mastodonsauroid temnospondyl. Cosgriffius and Wellesaurus are temnospondyli stubs and Triassic temnospondyls of North America.
